Qualcomm Inc. is a technology company engaged in the research and development of telecommunications and semiconductor equipment. A significant part of the products is wireless communication tools used to assemble smartphones. The company's headquarters is located in San Diego, California, USA. The company also has offices in more than 150 countries.
Qualcomm Inc. was founded in 1985 by Irwin Jacobs and Franklin Antonio. Since its foundation, the company has been operating in the mobile communication sector. Qualcomm Inc. is considered the best smartphone parts provider in its class. Industry giants such as Samsung and Apple use Qualcomm's products.
Qualcomm Inc. places particular emphasis on Wi-Fi and 5G technologies. However, revenue in the mobile sector is rapidly falling. One of the reasons is the difficulty in cooperation with Apple, which plans to abandon Qualcomm Inc. chips. and instead produce them itself to avoid paying royalties. Qualcomm Inc. began to explore other market segments, particularly automotive and IoT (Internet of things), to compensate for the decline in profits.
Qualcomm Inc. stocks, like the securities of most technology corporations, are traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker #QCOM. The company pays dividends to shareholders, which grow steadily from year to year. In April 2022, there was another increase in dividends aimed at increasing the value of shares. However, remember that the high-tech sector is very unstable and highly competitive, so do not expect a stable increase of asset's price. CFD trading is the smartest alternative to traditional investing. It allows traders to earn on the difference in the exchange rate, no matter how it changes.
Risk warning: Trading in FX and CFDs entails high risk of losing capital.

When working with Qualcomm Inc. stocks, traders must carefully study all the factors that directly or indirectly affect the #QCOM rate. First of all, the company's financial statements. In 2021, Qualcomm Inc.'s revenue was $33.57 billion, and in 2022 grew to $44.2 billion. Net profit also increased from $9.04 to $12.94 billion. At first glance, the company has good prospects. However, experts urge traders to take the figures with caution and consider the level of consumer demand and the state of the industry as a whole.
In addition, it is important to monitor the performance of competitors. One of them is MediaTek, which also specializes in SoC (system on a chip) production for smartphones. If consumers prefer their products, Qualcomm Inc.'s share on the market will decrease significantly, negatively affecting the #QCOM rate.
To successfully trade CFDs on #QCOM, traders need to read the news daily. The slightest newsbreak can significantly affect quotes. First, pay attention to statements about new partners and customers, recent developments, and competitors' activities. These three indicators will help determine whether Qualcomm Inc. products are in demand.
Also, pay close attention to the lawsuits the company is involved in. In addition to reputational risks, they bring significant losses, such as fines and legal costs. Qualcomm has been repeatedly fined for violating antitrust laws. In 2016, the company paid $853 million in South Korea and $975 million in China. The Antimonopoly Committee revealed that Qualcomm Inc. abused its leading position and forced customers to sign patent licensing agreements for chips, despite not owning them directly. This was a signal for investors that the value of the stocks would decline and they would lose profits. For traders, on the contrary, it is an opportunity to make money on the difference in the exchange rate.
